Tour de Fleece: First Completed Bobbin

 Here is the first bobbin of 2-ply yarn I spun for this year's Tour de Fleece.  I am taking things a little easier this year.  Last year I was stressed to the max trying to spin spin spin.  This year I am committed to fifteen minutes a day or at least five yards of Thetford Roving spun by the end of the day.

This yarn was the result of the blending board rolags I made at the first Tour de Fleece event this year.  I have now used up much of this thick and thin yarn on a project which I will unveil next week when it is completed!

The singles were spun on the Ashford Traveler that my angel friend Elsie gave me twenty years ago.  When it was time to ply I used the Ashford eSpinner 3.  That worked so well!  Of course, I only have two bobbins for that eSpinner so I had to first unwind the singles  on the full bobbin.  I am hoping to order another two bobbins from WooLee Winder for this eSpinner.  Then I will be set.  Famous last words, of course!
